Asphalt Sealcoating - Beach Paving

Asphalt Sealcoating Long Island, NY

Over time, exposure to sun, rain, oil, salt, and traffic can break down even the best asphalt surfaces. That’s where asphalt sealcoating comes in. At Beach Paving, we offer professional sealcoating services across Nassau and Suffolk Counties that protect your pavement, restore its appearance, and extend its usable life by years.

Whether you’re maintaining a residential driveway or a commercial parking lot, sealcoating is a smart, affordable way to guard your investment and keep your surface looking fresh.

What Is Asphalt Sealcoating?

Sealcoating is the process of applying a protective coating—typically a coal tar or asphalt-based emulsion—over existing pavement. It acts as a barrier against damaging elements like UV rays, water infiltration, chemicals, and oxidation. Sealcoating also restores the deep black finish of fresh asphalt, improving curb appeal instantly.

Why Sealcoating Is Essential Maintenance

Without protection, asphalt surfaces begin to oxidize, crack, and fade. Water seeps into those cracks, causing further damage in freeze-thaw cycles, leading to potholes and structural degradation. Sealcoating provides a flexible, waterproof layer that blocks these threats before they can do lasting harm.

Key Benefits:

Shields asphalt from sun, water, oil, and salt
Prevents premature cracking and erosion
Enhances the appearance with a rich black finish
Improves traction and skid resistance
Extends the life of your pavement by up to 50%

When Should You Sealcoat Your Asphalt?

To get the most value and protection out of your asphalt surface, timing matters. We recommend applying your first sealcoat 6 to 12 months after installation—once the asphalt has fully cured. After that, regular sealcoating should be done every 2 to 3 years, depending on traffic volume, weather exposure, and surface condition.

Delaying maintenance can allow cracks to form and water to penetrate the pavement, leading to premature damage. Routine sealcoating creates a protective layer that blocks UV rays, water, and chemicals—helping you avoid costly repairs down the road.

Asphalt Maintenance Services That Extend Lifespan

Sealcoating is just one part of a strong maintenance plan. To keep your asphalt performing like new, it’s important to invest in routine services that prevent deeper structural issues and extend surface life.

Crack filling prevents water from seeping beneath the surface—especially during Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles. Pothole patching quickly eliminates hazards and keeps your pavement smooth and traffic-safe. These small repairs help you avoid full resurfacing or costly base reconstruction down the line.

We also offer:

Asphalt Resurfacing (Overlays) – A cost-effective option to add a new asphalt layer over an existing base.
Infrared Repair – Blends new and old asphalt for seamless, long-lasting patches.
Surface Leveling – Fixes low spots that collect water and contribute to premature wear.

Common Questions About Our Service

What does asphalt sealcoating do?

Sealcoating applies a protective layer over asphalt surfaces to shield them from damaging elements like UV rays, water, oil, and salt. It helps slow down oxidation, prevents cracking, and enhances the appearance of your pavement with a rich black finish.

How often should I sealcoat my asphalt driveway or parking lot?

We recommend sealcoating every 2 to 3 years, depending on traffic, weather exposure, and surface condition. New asphalt should be sealed 6 to 12 months after installation to allow for proper curing first.

Does sealcoating fix cracks or potholes?

No, sealcoating is a preventative maintenance solution. While it helps protect against future damage, it won’t fix existing cracks or potholes. We typically perform crack sealing and patch repairs before applying the sealcoat to ensure the surface is fully prepped.

How long does sealcoating take to dry?

Drying times vary based on weather, but most surfaces are ready for foot traffic in 4 to 6 hours and vehicle traffic within 24 to 48 hours. We’ll let you know exactly when it’s safe to use your driveway or lot again.

Will sealcoating make my driveway slippery?

No. When applied correctly, commercial-grade sealants improve skid resistance. We also offer additives for traction on sloped or high-traffic areas if needed.

Is sealcoating worth the cost?

Yes—sealcoating can extend the life of your pavement by up to 50%. It’s a relatively low-cost service that saves you money by delaying the need for resurfacing or full replacement.
